Get ready for an exhilarating time-traveling adventure as The Retro Rewind Experience launches its premiere episode!
Join host Mat and special guest Hal Hefner, an extraordinary artist hailed for his work in film, television, and gaming, as they embark on a mind-blowing exploration of Hollywood's missed opportunities to harness the true power of 80s nostalgia. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride through the realms of Transformers, GI Joe, and Thundercats, where Matt and Hal dissect the triumphs and pitfalls of modern remakes that failed to capture the essence of the beloved originals.
From epic discussions about John Carpenter's masterpiece 'They Live'—a scathing critique of consumerism and capitalism—to candid reflections on the emotional connection forged between Gen Xers and their cherished childhood heroes, this episode is an unmissable time capsule of neon-lit memories, big-haired adventures, and the iconic pop culture that defined an era.
Don't miss out on the ultimate 80s podcast experience!
Oh, and the video version may have a sneak peek look at Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Or it may not.
